News from The Israel Project
The New York Times reported on Monday that Hezbollah’s warfighting in Syria is bolstering the organization’s capabilities, despite whatever losses it may be suffering, and that Israeli military officials now assess that the Iran-backed terror group’s involvement in the nearly three-year-old conflict has become “a major burden… but also a major advantage.”Though opposition elements have been able to degrade Hezbollah’s forces – news published earlier this week conveyed casualty figures as high as 120 fighters – there are roughly five thousand soldiers from the group who are gaining invaluable battlefield experience and emerging battle-hardened. Intelligence assessments also describe the Bashar al-Assad regime as having engaged in a quid-pro-quo with Hezbollah, under which Damascus would repay the Lebanese organization for its military assistance by providing advanced weapons to be used in a future war with Israel.
